Roadmap reference

Phase 4 — Monitoring: instrument every API with api_requests_total, api_response_duration_seconds, api_data_freshness_seconds.

Context

The kube-prometheus-stack HelmRelease is committed at flux/monitoring/helmrelease.yaml. Grafana will be live once Flux is wired. We need dashboard definitions committed now so they are ready to load on first deploy.

Tasks

  • Create flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml — a Kubernetes ConfigMap with key api-dashboard.json containing a Grafana dashboard definition
  • Dashboard panels:
    • Request rate per API (api_requests_total by job / route)
    • P50/P95/P99 latency (api_response_duration_seconds)
    • Data freshness (api_data_freshness_seconds) — alert threshold annotation at 30 days
    • Error rate (5xx responses as % of total)
  • Label the ConfigMap with grafana_dashboard: "1" so the Grafana sidecar picks it up automatically
  • Validate JSON with python3 -m json.tool or jq .
  • Add the ConfigMap to flux/monitoring/kustomization.yaml resources list

Acceptance criteria

  • flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml committed with valid JSON dashboard
  • ConfigMap is labelled grafana_dashboard: "1" and lives in the monitoring namespace
  • kustomize build flux/monitoring/ passes without errors
  • Dashboard covers all three APIs (zip, holidays, air-quality) via label selectors

## Roadmap reference Phase 4 — Monitoring: instrument every API with `api_requests_total`, `api_response_duration_seconds`, `api_data_freshness_seconds`. ## Context The `kube-prometheus-stack` HelmRelease is committed at `flux/monitoring/helmrelease.yaml`. Grafana will be live once Flux is wired. We need dashboard definitions committed **now** so they are ready to load on first deploy. ## Tasks - Create `flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml` — a Kubernetes ConfigMap with key `api-dashboard.json` containing a Grafana dashboard definition - Dashboard panels: - **Request rate** per API (`api_requests_total` by `job` / `route`) - **P50/P95/P99 latency** (`api_response_duration_seconds`) - **Data freshness** (`api_data_freshness_seconds`) — alert threshold annotation at 30 days - **Error rate** (5xx responses as % of total) - Label the ConfigMap with `grafana_dashboard: "1"` so the Grafana sidecar picks it up automatically - Validate JSON with `python3 -m json.tool` or `jq .` - Add the ConfigMap to `flux/monitoring/kustomization.yaml` resources list ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] `flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml` committed with valid JSON dashboard - [ ] ConfigMap is labelled `grafana_dashboard: "1"` and lives in the `monitoring` namespace - [ ] `kustomize build flux/monitoring/` passes without errors - [ ] Dashboard covers all three APIs (zip, holidays, air-quality) via label selectors ## Dependencies - Depends on leeworks-agents/api-company#7 (Prometheus + Grafana must be deployed for dashboard to load)

Implemented — merged in PR #25

@devops / @qa-engineer — work completed in this session.

What was done:

  • Created flux/monitoring/grafana-dashboard-apis.yaml — Kubernetes ConfigMap labelled grafana_dashboard: "1", namespace monitoring
  • Dashboard JSON validated with python3 json.loads() — 7 panels passing
  • Panels cover all three APIs (zip-enrichment|holidays|air-quality):
    • Request rate per API/route (rate(api_requests_total[5m]))
    • 5xx error rate as percentage of total requests
    • P50 / P95 / P99 latency (histogram_quantile over api_response_duration_seconds_bucket)
    • Data freshness gauge with alert threshold annotation at 30 days (2592000 s)
  • Added to flux/monitoring/kustomization.yaml resources list
  • kustomize build flux/monitoring/ passes without errors

Closes #22
